The NCI RNA Biology Initiative aims to facilitate the rapid exchange of information and expertise on the structure, function, biological roles, and therapeutic uses of RNA. Our goal is to foster synergistic interactions amongst NIH investigators and between NIH investigators and the larger scientific community. We anticipate that new insights into RNA biology and the development of innovative RNA-based tools and therapies will both define novel targets and accelerate the implementation of therapeutic interventions in cancer.
This one-day workshop will bring together leaders from industry, academia, and government with expertise in therapeutic oligonucleotides, delivery, small molecules, and preclinical development of novel RNA-based and RNA-targeted therapies.
